So today I asked myself, "Who is playing the best game so far?" And after some thought, my answer was pretty clear. And here's my potentially super hot take - it isn't Cirie. It's Felicia.

On the surface level, Cirie is playing a really great game. She has almost everyone wrapped around her finger. They all trust her and tell her everything and do whatever she tells them to do, and the very few people who have tried to oppose her have been able to do very little about it. But sooner or later she's going to start getting caught up in some lies and people are already starting to put some of the pieces together that she's the hub of all the crap that hasn't been adding up and I think that's going to come back to bite her. REALLY feels a lot like Paul in BB19.

Felicia on the other hand has managed to avoid the traps that usually come with being the oldest person in the cast (usually being either a throwaway early boot or a perennial pawn who adds nothing strategically), and this is probably largely due to this cast skewing older. She has aligned herself with some key power players that has allowed her to know almost everything that's going on in the game (the only exception being the Jared/Cirie relationship). And she's being subtle about it, kind of lurking behind much bigger targets in Cirie, Jared and Izzy. She's on very good terms with almost everyone in the house. She used her HoH to take out a gigantic threat but managed to do it in a way where it didn't make her look like she needed to be the next to go and broke that pattern. Based on conversations she has, especially with Izzy and Cirie, she seems to have more conviction in her decisions than Cirie, who has already been letting paranoia get the better of her a bit. And she's doing all this without raising any red flags for anyone. She's positioned herself to go very far and if she does I think she's going to get tougher and tougher to beat as the season goes on. I'd love to see her win this thing.
